Zach-Budish

5th year right wing Zack Budish(18) was recently traded from his Finnish team of the last two years, Jukurit to TPS.

He was leading scorer with the club in 2016/2017 with 15 goals and 23 assists for 38 points and currently holds down 15-17-32 stats in 49 Liiga games.

Originally a Nashville Predators‘ 2nd round pick in the 2009 draft (#41 overall), he spent 2-years as a prospect on an entry level deal but wasn’t qualified.

The 6’3″ 214 lbs. forward eventually signed with affiliate Cincinnati Cyclones in 2015/2016, where he spent 46 ECHL games through his time in the system.

He was loaned up for 4 games to Milwaukee Admirals and grabbed a pair of assists with a +2 rating and actually had always done decently while with the team scoring 10 goals and 19 assists in 97 AHL games with a +13.

Heading overseas to start his 2015/2016 campaign was likely a smart move and the 26-year old will very likely continue to excel.
